autorelease pool causes crash in RubyCocoa application

I'm having crash in my application, which says

trying to pop an unknown autorelease pool: 10/19/09 11:40:11 AM MyApp[89480] *** attempt to pop an unknown
autorelease pool (0x11bc800)

How to trace it down?

Since it's RubyCocoa application it's almost impossible to trace it with gdb in Xcode environment. So mostly it's about logging. There is an irb debugger, which gives same results as logging.

Thanks,

Nava

    And from the same author - put a break in CFLog.
